Client Critiques

I ordered an S031G Jumbo helicopter by Syma at the end of 2010 and flew it about six instances just before hanging it in a tree and smoking (literally) the circuit board and rear motor that drives the lower rotor. The offending component on the circuit board (STD150NH02L-1 MOSFET) would have been very easy to replace, but it is not available from the standard electronics suppliers in quantities under 3000. Soooo, I am buying parts from the hobby-estore for my rebuild.
This copter is honestly quite big and I do not consider a typical 14 year old (recommended age) would get a lot out of it prior to crashing it badly and rendering it unusable. That said, it could make an outstanding learning tool for troubleshooting harm and repairing the device to functional status. This is a amazing way to understand some mechanical and electronic repair skills.
On my very first flight, I was performing superbly till I flew also close to a power line and the copter cut out and plunged about 30' to the ground. It received a crack in the head cover and one of the tabs for connecting the head cover to the base broke off. Some electrician's tape and hot glue and I was back flying in about 10 minutes. I had a further cut-out at about 30' height on about the fourth flight which did much more damage to the base and head cover, but the copter kept going. The genuine disaster came on about the sixth flight when I was flying at tree-top rated height and a breeze came up and wafted the copter into a tree leading. Now, I am to blame due to the fact I had altered the copter balance with a Mini DV video camera I had taped to the copter which causes the copter to lose a fair amount of forward power. I couldn't drive the copter difficult adequate into the breeze to get away from the tree and I got stuck up there. Even devoid of my camera, I wouldn't recomend flying this copter in any wind if you can feel it. It will "fly like the wind" and crash someplace downwind.
Now Right here IS THE Important Component. I attempted to use the transmitter to wiggle the rotors on the copter to dislodge it from the tree. However, the electronics on the copter have no load capacity beyond driving the rotors in free of charge air. The rear motor overheated and the load on the STD150NH02L-1 MOSFET on the circuit board triggered the component to fry. The rear motor got so hot that the wire leads to the tail motor and rear LED's melted and stuck to the motor. The power connection to the rear motor got so hot it melted the solder on the circuit board! The lengthy and brief of this is DO NOT DRIVE THE MOTORS OF THIS COPTER IF THEY ARE CONTACTING Something! If you get hung in a tree, tie a 3/four" nut to some light poly bailing twine and use a sling shot to lob the nut and string over the branches above the copter. Gather both ends of the twine and yank hard and repeatedly until you shake the copter out of the tree. This worked incredibly nicely for me.
As for contacting your body, this factor can certainly give you a whack. I haven't broken my skin with it, but have offered myself some nasty hits by accidentally engaging the transmitter though carrying the copter for a re-launch. Small young children and pets could be injured, primarily if hit in the eyes. My wife prohibits me from even turning it on in the house. You honestly could do some harm inside with it (not to mention the copter).
I would recommend this item to anybody seeking to get into radio manage model aircraft flying. Remain away from radio interference and give oneself LOTS of maneuvering room. A football field could not even be significant adequate the very first few instances out. If you want to take some air pictures when you know your copter, get a MINI DV camera and tape it to it. You'll want solid daylight for wonderful video, but I a fully impressed by what this tiny camera can do.
Given its size (about 2 feet long), this copter has substantially additional momentum than the mini copters like its little cousin the S107G. Everything about the motion of the S031G is multiplied by at least the scale factor from the S107G. Go slow to begin and not too high till you get the hang of it and you will be crashing into trees and buildings and acquiring spare parts in no time

Nice RC Helicopter. Improved flying outdoors with no wind. But too lengthy to fly indoors. You should decide on a quite clean region for indoor flying. I got a blade broken attempting to fly in a narrow space. I do not suggest it for beginners like me. Improved starting with little ones (Syma 032 or Helizone Firebird). Battery life is decent and motors have a lot of power. but I will replace battery with a 11.1 volts a single.
